The project is valued at US$1,999,704.16 with funding from an international civil society group, Tenure Facility and the Liberia Land Authority on its advisory board. FCI is implementing the project with two other national civil society organizations: Sustainable Development Institute (SDI) and the Parley Liberia. J. Adams Manobah, Acting Chairman of the Liberia Land Authority said the project was important to Liberia and its partners in the land sector as the project seeks to secure land ownership for rural communities. The Land Rights Law was passed into law in 2018 and was hailed across the world for recognizing customary land rights and women’s ownership to land. All of these things, she said, would be done with the advice of the Liberia Land Authority.
